We all know Jordin Sparks being the youngest contestant on the American Idol show won the title with a record of maximum number of votes out of the 74 million votes that came in.

The whole experience was overwhelming for the teenager and she was then handed over the microphone to sing her heart out last time on the stage. She teared through the performance and was very likeable.

Here is the video of her winning scene and the last winning performance:

No doubt the first performance of Lakisha in the piano round, is amongst the best individual performances ever on American Idol 2007.

 It was her best hit, and Simon Cowell told everyone else to pack their bags and go home because lakisha is going to win this one.

She never remained consistent since the top 12 finalists were chosen and that is why she had to finish on number 4th.

Jordin Sparks as we all know deservingly won the prestigous title of The American Idol 2007, she is now all set for her music career.

Jordin Sparks as all other american idols is given a free album production contract which she is working for now and will be completed by the end of this year hopefully. But there is a bad news too, Jordin Sparks is just 17! Therefore she is first going to complete her one year schooling and then proceed to her music career. Jordin is right, school is very important.

On the other hand Blake Lewis is also going for his new album, but there is a shocker here, Blake is interested on making an 80s album!

Whatever these two American Idol finalists do, they are both going to be very successful indeed.

The fame of the top 10 finalists of the popular show American Idol is spreading far and wide.

On friday the top 10 contestants of American Idol were all invited in the Famous CNN show Larry King Live. Ofcourse, it also included the Winner Jordin Sparks and runner-up Blake Lewis.

It was a nice event which also showed other contestants. Lakisha said she had the feeling she would not win this one after a few episodes of top 12. Melinda wanted to sleep for sometime to recover from the stress she had gone through throughout the idol experience. Chris was mostly quiet and sweet. Phil said he was already working for a navy rock band before the show and will still continue to do it, money does not matter to him and after 2008 when he completes the navy contract, he will do something of his own. Sanjaya as usual was stupid and dumb. Haley is getting married on the 5th of january. Chris Sligh seems to be happy with his 10th position. And Gina Glocksen wanted to win this but thinks Jordin is the perfect choice.

               Jessica’s Sleeping Habits:
You might imagine that being rich and famous is synonymous with kipping in a luxurious bed, oozing with pillows and with a duvet so tagged –up you cannot move. But for Jessica it is the opposite the newly divorced star has admitted that she has a problem with getting to sleep so she has been advised to stay away from her bed until she feels very sleepy.

Taylor Hicks was the American Idol of 2006. He emerged victorious out of the top 12 who are believed to be the best group of American Idol ever in 6 seasons. With singers like Chris Daughtry, Katherine McPhee, Paris Bennett, Elliott Yamin, Mandisa, Kellie Pickler and even Ace Young, there was no way one could imagine the white haired, electrocuted dumbo to win the prestigous title.

But he did, yes he did, and it is still unkown how. Because nobody seems to like him like the overpowering love for the previous idols Fantasia, Ruben Studard, Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and now Jordin Sparks.

No matter how many wrong ways you take for your triumph, the truth comes out once and for all.

And this is what happened. Taylor Hicks is the only American Idol title holder who couldnt sell over a million copies of his first albums, as compared to his defeated fellow contestants like Chris and Katheriene who broke records with their debut.

A shameful 2006, but forgetable after the right choice of Jordin Sparks this season.

The winning song of American Idol 2007, "This is my Now" was sung twice by Jordin Sparks in the show. Once while still competing for the title in the TOP 2 and the second time closing the show after winning it all the very next day.

It is said that this will be the first song of her professional career, and it is already available on AOL sound stream. The first album Jordin Sparks releases will have "This is my now" as the first song.

What a beautiful start, the song brings about goosebumps and tears even in the live performance, it will be mindblowing in the studio recorded version!

Jordin You had to win it!

The nervousness, curiosity is over,and the long awaited name of the American Idol 2007 has been finally announced on wednesday night (america).

Jordin Sparks was declared the American Idol 2007 by Ryan Seacrest after opening the sealed golden envelope, setting two new records for the Ameican Idol show, being the youngest contestant to win the title at the age of just 17 years and attracting much more viewer attention with the huge number of 74 million votes.

The young lady was ofcourse overwhelmed and immediately covered her face, when her name was announced, on the other hand the sweet charming boy blake lewis gave her a tight loving hug which was truly genuine.

She then proceeded with her final winning song on the stage, "this is my now" and this girl really blew the kodak theatre once again, she was teary through out the song and overwhelmed with joy which showed in her performance. AN EXCEPTIONALLY OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY THE NEW AMERICAN IDOL JORDIN SPARKS.

She was then given lots of hugs and kisses by the fellow contestants which closed down the show.
